I have used CH4D, RCBS and Redding dies (in various calibers). I always go back to the RCBS dies.

I bought Hornady's back whenthey were the only ones available and I have no complaints with them at all. That said I have been using RCBS for so many years I forget and have NEVER had a problem with one. Just looked on my reloading shelf and I had 15 sets with 1 set each of Hornady,Lyman and Redding. Have also had sets in 8x60r and 219 Donaldson that were sets to convert other cases. My 470NE dies went with the Merkel when I sold it. All that sounds like an advertisement for RCBS. You MIGHT say I prefer them.

HORNADY; they work great and are much less cost than the RCBS. I have theirs in 450-400; two sets in fact. I have about 100 sets of dies; mixture of most all brands made, including Herters. Mostly Lee, RCBS, and Lyman.
